Alice walked out before me and then I left Bella to talk to Edward. I hope all goes well when they get to mine and Alice's room and Alice goes and sits on the bed. I try to set next to her but she just moves to the other side of it, as far from me as 's a lost cause. I decided to talk first and get everything started since she didn't want to talk in the first place.

"Alice, talk to me. I'm sorry about what you saw. If you want I can tell you why it happened. Talk to me Alice." I hesitates before answering, "Tell me why you did it Jasper, why?" she said to voice was rough from sobbing but she still manages to get it out. I almost don't think I can tell her about how I have been feeling about Bella after seeing her face so pain stricken.

"Well I have been feeling different emotions towards Bella and I don't know what they are but they are there and won't go away. They first started to show when she forgave me about her birthday and that event still haunts me till this day. I went into Edward's room to tell Bella about my feeling just in case she and Edward wanted to go away or have me leave until this was sorted out. But we exchanged words and… I really don't have an explanation for why I kissed her, I couldn't control it." I said, making my best to catch her attention and meet her sat there quietly listening to my every word about how this unfortunate event occurred.

"Alice, I never meant to hurt you. That is why I proposed to leave so things like this wouldn't happen. You are a wonderful woman, and I love you. You deserve the truth and that is what I have given to you. No matter how much it hurts, I wanted to give it to you." I said, emphasizing every sat there drinking this all in and thinking at the same time.

My mind kept on wondering to what would happen in Bella and Edward's conversation. I was so consumed by my own thoughts that I missed what Alice said to me.

"Excuse me?" I asked.

"Get out, I need to think and I can't do that with you here so please leave me." she repeated in a cold way.

I looked at her and could feel her confusion in every pore of her skin and deeply need to think. So I obliged to her request and left the room after saying good-bye to my wife for the last time.

My stone heart started to break the minute I saw Bella in my room – in my bed, could Jasper do this to me? All I have done is be a good brother to him and give him support when he was struggling with our knows how I feel about Bella and how much she means to me. I mean he feels it for God's sake! I feel so betrayed inside… there are not enough words to describe the pain I feel.

It's consuming my whole existence, my every minute of the endless days and I nights I have to wants us to talk but I don't feel like talking to him. I might kill him and possibly regret it later. Instead of us all talking Jasper will talk to Alice and I will talk to...Bella.I know I should feel pain and heart broken because of what Bella did with Jasper but that is not completely what I feel.

I know she wouldn't let anybody kiss her so she must feel something for him and that hurts. But strangely I can't feel anything but disappointment, confusion, and love for my opened the door and held it open for Alice to pass through it before him. She pushed pass him with a look of absolute pain on her face. My heart goes out to Alice because I can't imagine what she is walks right behind her and closes the door after they both have gone through it.

Now it is just me and Bella in my room.I move to go sit on the opposite side of Bella on the bed. I have to know what she feels for him before I can do anything. Suddenly she spoke my name.

"Edward, I'm sorry. I didn't mean for any of this to happen it just did. The last thing I wanted to do was hurt you. I love you, you know that." She said in a rush.

"Do I, Bella? You loved me before but this changes things and feelings. So right now I don't know if you love me anymore. Every ounces of my soul wants you to love me the way I love you but I can't be certain of that. Not any more." I say, looking directly into her eyes so she knows how hurt I am by her started to cry silently while we continued talking.

"E-Edward, I have never given you a reason to doubt my love so how can you sit here and say this to me now? I know I did wrong and I am sorry for that but I can't change it now. What's done is done." her voice was muffled by her crying and it was filled with so much pain that it made me cringe inside.

"What you just did in this room with Jasper gives me doubts. I wish didn't have them but I do and I know you can't fix it. I just want you to answer two questions for me…" I say, thoughtful.

"Ok, anything. What are your questions?" she said.

" Do you still love me, Bella?" I breathed, looking away from her chocolate brown eyes. But it was such a difficult question to ask, because deep inside I didn't want to know the answer. I didn't want to think she didn't love me sighed deeply at my side.

"With all my heart. Yes, I still love you, Edward." My nonexistent heart jumped at the love in her voice. It gave me hope that my next answerwould be a no. I nodded quietly.

"Do you love Jasper?" I said, hesitates and thinks about her answer. While she thinks the hope I once had leaks from my heart as it breaks at the silence I 'm hearing.

"I-I don't know what I feel for Jasper, Edward." she choked.I couldn't say anything, I was completely silent. She doesn't know what she feels for him?

She does feel something anger quickly turns to pain as I feel my heart tries to burst from my chest as Bella continues to call my name.

I don't answer her, I'm afraid of what I might say. So instead I get off the bed and walk out the mind spins at the agonizing question rolling in my head.

Could Bella really love Jasper?
